Titanfall Patch Drops Today, Includes Private Matches and More

Respawn Entertainment is releasing a new patch for Titanfalltoday. Included in the update will be the introduction of Private Match which is rolling out as a beta. As the name suggests, it'll allow friends and buddies to group together for organized matches.

The notes say that Private Match will support 2-12 players with 1-6 players on each team. Players can choose any map and mode to play on as well as being able to choose which team to join. During the beta, no lobby leader will be assigned to a single player, instead any person will be to access game options and start/stop match countdowns in the lobby. Respawn will be adding new options like score limits and round time in future updates. Users who play in this mode will not be able to gain XP.

Other features in this update include party colors to differentiate party members and their titans on the mini-map and HUD. On the PC, a wall-hack exploit has been patched out. Additionally, there will be some menu changes like the option for "Play Mulitplayer" now defaulted to the top of the list for players who completed both campaigns. On Xbox One, players can access the system's Party app with a shortcut by hitting the left trigger.

Game balances will be issued too, one of them being the Gooser Challenge. The requirement to kill 50 ejecting pilots has now been reduced to 5 for that particular challenge. Also, the 40mm magazine capacity has also been reduced from 20 rounds to 12 rounds per magazine.
